Channa
Sundal | Kondakadalai Sundal with step by step photos. Among
all the sundal made during Navratri, sundal with channa is our family favourite,
I make this once in a while for our evening snack along with chai. And even I believe
that our of the 9 days Channa Sundal will definitely be in the menu at least
one or two days. It is totally delicious and packed with protein. I have made a
simple version today with just coconut but it can also be made spicy using
Sundal Podi. Now let’s see how to prepare Channa Sundal.

1.Soak the Channa in water
overnight .Next day in a pressure cooker add in the soaked Channa and along
with immersing level water and salt and cook for 4 whistles one the pressure
is released.

2.Open the cooker and drain the
excess water and set the cooked channa aside. Now heat a pan add in oil once
it becomes hot add in Mustard seeds and Urad Dal, let them splutter

3.Next add in the Hing, Dry Red
Chilli and Curry Leaves. Next add the cooked Channa .Check and add salt if
necessary (as we have already added salt while cooking the channa) and then
add in freshly grated coconut sauté for 2 mins and switch off the flame.

4.Tasty and Healthy Channa Sundal
is now ready to be served.

Notes:

·This is a no onion no garlic
recipe.

·Perfect for the Navratri
fasting and evening snacks.

·You can add 2 tsp sundal podi
if you prefer a spicy version, it tastes good either way.
